Correction: The DEMOCRATS should be ashamed they did this deed.

The REPUBLICANS failed in their duty by not making that deserved SHAME more public and not MAKING THE DEMOCRAT PAY A POLITICAL PRICE for obstructionism.

Here in Texas, we played more hardball and we *may* yet win on redistricting... nothing is guaranteed, but for sure if the Gov decided that Dem obstructionism was 'too strong' to overcome, it would have been over already and the Dems would have won a vicory with no political price.

FAILURE TO PLAY HARDBALL COST US HERE. SEN FRIST HAS TO ANSWER FOR WHY THE DEMOCRATS WERENT FORCED INTO A REAL 24x7 FILIBUSTER OVER THIS NOMINATION!!

I agree. Texas is an excellent example. Thus far they have followed through.

Months ago, I would have laid down a simple but quiet rule - no Democrat gets a dime to take back to their districts until every justice gets a vote. No projects, nothing. But this is hardball and Republicans are immune to it.
